JPlay!

Welcome to JPlay!

Families of all kinds with children under 5 years old are invited to join us for fun-filled weekly programming tailored to Jewish Brooklyn families held Sunday mornings (10am) at The Senesh School.

Each week, we offer a variety of play-based activities with a Jewish touch for kids to explore and express themselves. With the support of an amazing rotating cast of community partners and educators we’ll sing, dance, craft, read, play and have lots of fun!  

Our friends from PJ Library always make sure there are plenty of awesome Jewish stories on hand to read and enjoy together and one of our local Brooklyn PJ Parent Connectors join most weeks to add to the fun.  Sing-a-longs are led by Tkiya Music and other amazing community song-leaders!

COMING UP NEXT: SUNDAY, DECEMBER 8TH!

It's the final JPlay! of 2024, so we hope you'll join us!  !בואו להצטרף אלינו 

Stay warm and play inside with us with lots of fun activities to keep little hands and minds busy (plus coffee to keep the big ones awake!) --

• Multiple zones for play-based fun with blocks, magnetic tiles, building materials, dolls, and more!
• Fun craft activities perfect for little ones with local PJ Library Parent Connector, Angelica Rubin
• An engaging sing-a-long with our friend Rachel from Tkiya Music
• Hebrew activities through our partners at Rishon B’Yachad and JCC Brooklyn
• Hebrew children's book exchange
• Children's clothes exchange

Rishon B'Yachad (ראשון ביחד)is building a vibrant community of Hebrew-speaking families in Brooklyn.  We are excited to join forces to grow the fun and infuse Hebrew-language exposure through music and other play-based activities on select weeks.

JCC Brooklyn is a pluralistic Jewish Community Center located in three physical sites (Windsor Terrace, North Williamsburg and Clinton Hill) as well as in pop-up spaces. We are inspired by Jewish values and ideas and we welcome all families regardless of background.

Grownups, we've got something for you, too!

Coffee and light nosh will always be on hand!  While your kids are having a ton of fun, you can stay caffeinated, connect with fellow grownups, and enjoy!

Join us as we build this space of belonging for Jewish families of all kinds and create this special community with our youngest friends and families!  We can’t wait to see you at the next JPlay!

Senesh is thrilled to partner with PJ Library to offer your family the gift of free books that celebrate Jewish values and culture! 

PJ Library sends high-quality Jewish children's books to families around the world every month, completely FREE. The stories, along with PJ Library's vast online resources and community events, spark conversations that inspire the whole family to celebrate what they love about Jewish life.

EACH CHILD in your family, from 0-8 years old, can receive their own age-appropriate Jewish-themed book in the mail every month. You can sign up all eligible and interested children on your event registration and then look out for your first storybook in the next few weeks!  Families with children ages 9-12 are invited to sign up for PJ Our Way, PJ Library's chapter book program, directly at pjourway.org.
